Arena yes, BG no. Arena is supposed to be a "sanctioned event" everything should be equal, as in pvp power, resilience, health pools. For a BG having people with varying levels and kinds of gear makes it feel more like mercenaries in a battlefield.

An Arena like that would be very, very interesting to try. One could argue lore-wise the goblin cartel would make less money if everything was on "equal footing" however. Would I want to play that way though? Absolutely.
